"I’ve eaten in a lot of burger joints and smoke houses across the US and UK. This place is on a par with the best I have eaten in. As we are in the UK, if you know restaurants like Almost Famous, Bleeker St, Flank or Burger Beyond then this place is on a par or better than those guys. If Five Guys is your idea of the ultimate burger, then you need to go to Jack n Grill and they will re-educate you. It’s a family restaurant and while the decor/set up is basic (don’t expect to see guitars or Canoes hanging off the walls like typical US style eateries) the welcome is superb with friendly staff and locals and good music. The food is genuinely sublime. You will need a few visits to get through the ridiculous number of burger options. Regular hand made burgers with Pretzel buns (awesome) or smashed burgers (5 guys style thinner burgers) or chicken burgers. There must be over 60 options. I had the Elvis. Regular burger with peanut butter and bacon with a chilli jam and it was one of the best burgers I’ve tasted. Add to this the huge variety of loaded fries (I had the nacho fries) and the variations are endless! Feedback from the group of ten of us was universally positive. People of Hampshire , you have one of the most innovative and delicious burger restaurants in the UK on your doorstep. You should be queuing round the block to get in this place and I think you will be once the word gets out."

"Decided we’d grab a takeaway whilst staying nearby for a family holiday. My family (kids 2, 9 12 are pretty standard with Indian food and tend to order similar most places. I called to order so hubby could collect; friendly staff who were really helpful over the phone (some choices come rice bread and I didn’t want to order too much and have waste! ; We ordered x 3 starters and x3 curries (one came with rice, one with naan an extra rice and chapatis which is pretty standard for us and it came in around the £50 mark; a little more than our Yorkshire equivalent but still not bad. We were really pleased with our food; samosas aren’t the large homemade style we get at our local but we’re tasty (x2 small per portion ; chicken park or as we’re lovely and delicious! Chick Tikka Marsala was good not bright pink! and had delicate creamy sauce which is can be hard to find. Chick tikka balti was great; a kick without too hot and lots of usually onions a spellers as well as lots of large pieces of chicken and the korma was creamy, tasty and went down well with our korma king! Pilau rice was lovely and delicate flavours (again no bright coloured dyes and breads were lovely and tasty. Would dispute those saying it’s bland; i thought it was really tasty and the menu really comprehensive. Would definitely use again as takeaway or possibly eat in if returning got the area in future."
